BOOK-TO-FILM ADAPTATION

Hallmark Publishing Original Novel, The Secret Ingredient, for New Original Movie to Air in February as Part of Hallmark Channel's "Love Ever After" Programming Event

New York, NY, January 14, 2020 - Crown Media Family Networks announced today its first-ever movie adaptation of a Hallmark Publishing original novel. The film, based on The Secret Ingredient by USA Today Bestselling author Nancy Naigle, is slated to air this February in conjunction with Hallmark Channel's "Love Ever After" programming event.

"When we launched Hallmark Publishing two and a half years ago, we envisioned a future when we would be able to leverage the division's original novels as blueprints for new movies," said Bill Abbott, President & CEO, Crown Media Family Networks. "The Secret Ingredient checked off all the boxes for a great Hallmark Channel movie - a compelling narrative, rich, multi-dimensional characters, heart-warming sentiment - and we are so proud to bring this wonderful story from page to screen as our very first book-to-film adaptation."

The Secret Ingredient

The Secret Ingredient tells the tale of a once-engaged couple that dreamed of opening their own restaurant. Though life took them in different directions, one special recipe turns out to be a reminder of how much their past is a part of them still. The novel can currently be found on iTunes, Hallmark.com, Amazon.com, and Kobo.com.

Hallmark Publishing, which originally launched in 2017 as a digital publisher, offers wholesome romances, intriguing mysteries and original titles by USA Today and New York Times bestselling authors in eBook, audiobook, and paperback form.

MORE DETAILS on "The Secret Ingredient" Movie:

Nancy Naigle, author of the book The Secret Ingredient, also wrote other popular books turned into Hallmark movies, including Christmas in Evergreen, Christmas Joy, Hope at Christmas and Christmas in Evergreen: Letters to Santa!

Starring in "The Secret Ingredient" are: Erin Cahill (Love, Fall and Order") and Brendan Penny ("Chesapeake Shores").

"The Secret Ingredient" storyline: Small-town baker, Kelly, gets a big surprise when she is invited to compete on a Valentine's Day baking show in New York City - and an even bigger surprise when she runs into her ex-fiance.

I was so happy to learn (during the Christmas season!) that Erin Cahill would be starring in this upcoming "Love Ever After" movie for Hallmark! She has quickly become one of my Hallmark favorites since her sweet Christmas movies and "Love, Fall and Order!" Plus... I absolutely loved her in the INSP film, "Christmas on the Range!" She's truly fantastic in that movie! (By the way... You can watch it digitally through Amazon Prime Video or get a copy on DVD!)

Erin's co-star, Brendan Penny, (also one of my favorites!) is no stranger when it comes to working in the kitchen in Hallmark movies. His character worked in a restaurant in both "A Dash of Love" and "Pride, Prejudice & Mistletoe!" Will he be the secret ingredient in this movie? I have a feeling Hallmark has cooked up another sweet romantic comedy!

Be sure to look for "The Secret Ingredient" during Hallmark Channel's "Love Ever After" month - premiering Saturday, February 15th at 9pm/8c!

Blessings to you all, Net
